Well, things are seriously packed up now. Right now I’m sitting at my desk will a wall of boxes surrounding me. It’s a bit unnerving, but we’ve covered that already.
So, everybody we run into is asking me “what I’m gonna do”. I don’t mind, but I guess from my perspective its enough to have God provide a great job for Katy and a place to live without having to worry about another unanswered prayer. Now, don’t get me wrong–as soon as we get unpacked and Katy starts her job, I’m going to start my “job” of finding a job. The thing is, is that I’m not even thinking about that stuff right now. I’m just focused on the boxes in my life right now. I have to get the boxes out of here and out to Plano in two days and there are still a bunch of boxes to be packed. I wish I had just one box like the guy in this picture. Man, that would be easy. So what if I don’t know what I’m going to do? God has provided a great deal for us these past few weeks. Why should I worry that He’s going to stop?
But, as long as we’re visiting the subject, let’s talk about what I’ll do. The way I see it, there are a few options: A)I go find a regular job that I will hopefully enjoy and make money at. B) I can look for a church that could hire me full-time. C) I can look for a church to hire me part-time. D) Both A and C. E) I could try to launch some sort of business and/or ministry in order to pursue the things I really enjoy, but not make any money at it for a while. F)Both C and E. G) Both A and E.
Ok, so those are more than a few options…but they have all crossed my mind. The most responsible thing to do in most people’s eyes is to just go find a good job and forget about any dreams of running your own business or ministry. But I also have other friends who think entrepreneurship is the only way to fly. And there are people who think I should still be a worship leader full-time. So, does anybody have a vote? This might be your only chance to play God, so play responsibly.
